"McKittrick cites 'Dazed and Confused' as well as 'Clerks' as influences, yet he lacks the raw edge of early Smith and the existential drift of Linklater" | ||||
"The filmmaker captures a certain exaggerated verisimilitude, but the comedy is surprisingly flat. The cast sells the occasional one-liner, but a Reynolds smirk can take you only so far." | ||||

"It's lewd, crude and socially irredeemable" |
